Today’s sentencing closes one painful chapter in a tragedy that forever changed the lives of the families of Officer Kendall Corder and Officer Christopher McCray, as well as the entire Milwaukee Police Department.
Nothing will ever bring Kendall back. He was a son, a partner, a friend, and a police officer who answered the call to protect this community. His loss is still felt deeply by the men and women who served beside him every day.
We also continue to stand with Officer Christopher McCray, who survived that horrific night and continues to recover physically and emotionally from the trauma he endured. The impact of violence against police officers does not end when the headlines fade or when a sentence is handed down. These wounds last for years.
This case is a stark reminder of the dangers Milwaukee police officers face every single day. Officers put on the uniform knowing they may be called into violent and unpredictable situations at any moment, yet they continue to show up and serve this community with courage and professionalism.
Our officers need more than support after a tragedy. They need to know this community stands with them every day when they answer dangerous calls, when they work long hours away from their families, and when they make sacrifices most people will never fully see or understand.
We ask the community to continue wrapping its arms around the families of Kendall Corder and Christopher McCray, along with all Milwaukee police officers. Support for law enforcement cannot exist only in moments of mourning. It must exist in the everyday recognition that these officers are risking their lives to protect others. đź’™ We Shall Never Forget
